OT but why do you say the movie was crappy? It wasn't as deep as it could have been, but it was better than most action films I've seen. The vertical spinning thing was such a logical evolution I was amazed the Wachowskis (sp?) didn't do it in one of their sequels, but instead they did the awful "now it's slow - now it isn't" thing in the hundred Smiths fight. Maybe we can claim I Robot as Matrix 3, it's far superior to the sequels we did get.
With trillian you have to choose between plugins or free version, you can't have both (or couldn't last I checked)

That's why I use kopete with gpg integration. Too bad I can only get one other person to use it. Email is just as insecure, but you'll never persuade joe public to encrypt his/her email.
And how is that an indication on how good the program is?
When code is not portable, it's often because it's been written badly. Not saying that's the case here, but in general it's true.
And do you want me to start listing the number of Linux only projects that keep being featured on Slashdot?
Slashdot is news for nerds, and these days most nerds are Linux users. Personally, I find it enormously refreshing to come here and find the assumption is that you are running Linux, the opposite of what you find on most "tech" sites.
And you'll find most of those "linux-only" programs are portable to most POSIX systems
Just to add to this, kopete integrates very nicely with gpg. Personally I think this is a better approach than trying to implement your own encryption protocol, as openpgp is looked at by more people.

That's a fiction put there to protect them from being sued by AOL. It's really called gAIM.
There are already protection mechanisms that can do this. Thing is, audio players will ignore anything in a second session or a second toc. Therefore, you just need to put something in those that will prevent people getting at the audio tracks. This is "legal" for data, certainly, as you can "delete" files from an earlier session when adding another session. Reading the blurbs it looks like they're putting videos etc. in the data bit as well, meaning you lose some content if you go for the black pen solution.
The standard way around that is to have a second TOC which says the audio tracks don't exist. Audio players only read the first TOC, computer drives read all of them. Of course, this is where my friendly black mar^H^H^Hevil circumvention device comes in handy.
Unfortunately that's more or less the case here in Britain, but in the US you can copy the music you brought for yourself to have a copy in your car or whatever without violating anyone's copyright, because of fair use. And the technologies are preventing that, which is not good.
I'm never sure whether there's a crack for wma9. It's been around a while so I imagine there is one but I can never find a link for it. There are quite a few places selling music in DRMed wma9, does anyone know of a crack for it?
Replace the NSA key in windows with one of your own, then sign the soundcard-faking driver with that. You then have an authenticated secure path which leads to a file on your hard drive.
I'm sorry but that's crap. Cheapo 50x drive ripping with fricking realplayer, I could rip at 8x no problem. 48x burner with a variety of software, 6x+ most of the time. Even this laptop dvd drive has no trouble going over 2x, even using cdparanoia.
IIRC it's fine as long as you use a filesystem designed to deal with it, and don't use it for swap, logs etc. For storing your home stuff in it's fine, just have no swap and put/tmp and maybe/var on tmpfs.
I think it's pango. It allows you to do all lots of nice effects, antialiasing, and really nice i18n. However, the price for that is being very slow. Sometimes I wish they'd make a ascii only version that ran very fast, but I realise that's being a bit selfish.
Well, as a Qt zealot I would say that will be a happy day.

It didn't look like a troll. 3[?] years on there are still a huge number of people who don't use KDE because of all the FUD from the debian people about it. This really needs to be sorted.

Yes, applications using Athena widgets, which were a demo included with X to help you learn how to write widget toolkits.
Trillian SecureIM is a vulnerable encryption protocol, and hence worse than useless.

There is nothing wrong with closed source
Some of us disagree with that.
Donations are donations, but they send 50% of everything they make on sales to the IM companies.

In that case it's not very protected, is it?

Indeed. But as long as you keep your old video recorder around, you can record macrovision protected content. Just like dvd region coding.
Replace the NSA key, and sign your driver with your replacement.

It makes it more vulnerable to radiation, but ram is already checksummed for that. Wouldn't want to use it in space though.

It's a bug in firefox, acknowledged as a bug in firefox, and fixed in mozilla trunk.
